Board of Directors

Your IGNITE Board of Directors is comprised of student leaders from Humber Polytechnic and University of Guelph-Humber campuses with one common goal: to represent you.

Learn more about each director, their role and how to contact them below. 

WHAT THEY DO

Their Role

The board plays a key role in guiding IGNITE’s direction. They are responsible for governing the organization and managing strategic priorities that impact you. From shaping budgets to ensuring accountability by committee involvement and regular meetings, the board ensures that IGNITE continues to operate in the best interests of Humber and UofGH students.
